I know Barboza was originally slated to face Gomi, but this fight is quality too. Who takes it though? I think Barboza's aura of invincibility went in the Njokuani fight. This could be similar! Wouldn't like to pick it though...

love this guy, great fighter is Ross, want to see more of him.

Barboza is a better striker than Pearson. So is Njokuani.

Wouldn't be surprised if Pearson tried to out-wrestle him. I think Barboza will knock him out instead.

love barboza's leg kicks they are really up to parr with some k1 fighters leg kicks man they are brutal.

Always like watching Pearson on the pre lims, undercard or fight nights. He is good quality for that level and with a bit of work he might break that level comfortably. He did beat Siver and Fisher afterall.

Pearson has better hands imo. Barboza is a better Muay Thai guy though..

Pearsons best chance is to take this to the ground, or try to keep Barboza against the cage. Strange for a british fighter having to use a wrestling stategy but Barboza's striking is just too good for Pearson.
